Today we are chilling it with a new up and coming rapper named Swagstar Prince.

HipHopLEAD: That is an interesting name. For starts where did the name come from?

Swagstar Prince: Off top I got a natural Swag, I dont have to try to possess that, feel me. The Star part comes from what I do on my leisure, ya’dig. I be up their wit the stars bruh( laughs). And the Prince part comes from my persona, you know when people say your “highness”, well ya im ya “high”ness lol. I treat people like I want to be treated, I wanna be treated like a Prince, there ya go, peeeum.

HipHopLEAD: Where are you reppin?

Swagstar Prince: Zone 3, Atlanta Ga, Mars!!!!

HipHopLEAD: What made you wanna get into HipHop?

Swagstar Prince: I was always around music when I was youngin’, I always wanted to be in my own lane, so what I used to do was mess around freestyling on whatever my mom and dad were playing.

HipHopLEAD: Who were your influences to get into music?

Swagstar Prince: My mother and Father (Rest In Paradise), my peers really, I aint gonna lie, like it was a roster of artists that made me want to, because I was a fan of the art before anything.

HipHopLEAD: Being from Georgia are you happy with the current artists leading the way?

Swagstar Prince: Hell yeah, they keepin’ us relevant in the game right now. Its crazy goin’ to D.C. or somewhere on the West Coast hearin’ somethin’ that just dropped in our hood. Gotta love it

HipHopLEAD: Alot of people say the majority of the rappers in the South are not lyrical. After listening to “retarded”, and a few other records its apparent that quality lyrics are important to you. What makes you not want to not dumb it down?

Swagstar Prince: (laughs) For what, real life I be in my own world when I get in dat booth fam. If you understand where I’m coming from then you know what direction I’m goin’. I got a mean ass vocab and I’m gonna use it like ammo, bruh.

HipHopLEAD: What projects have you released to date?

Swagstar Prince: “Swag Of An Astronaut”, make sure you download it on datpiff.comm and it is sponsored, so you have no excuse lol. I got random tracks out on quality DJ’s mixtape as you all know, from the Digital Dynasty series (peeeum) I got a joint on DJ P Exclusivez Swag Report 3, randomness fam.

HipHopLEAD: Which was your favorite and why?

Swagstar Prince: I’m proud of my debut mixtape (Swag Of An Astronaut -Download it). I put alot behind it, there was alot of trials and tribulations that was goin’ on at the time, but people are embracing what i’m doin’. Imma put my foot on the nonbelievers neck with this next one though

HipHopLEAD: Are you on a label?

Swagstar Prince: I’m not on a label at the moment, they’ll be sorry, but AGP(AstroGangPilots) is the movement, get wit’ it or headbutt a brick wall!!! (Laughs)

HipHopLEAD: How would you describe your style of hip-hop?

Swagstar Prince: I got them space jams family, (laughs), point blank period. I aint a extra wild dude, I’m not a conscious rapper, I dont just rap fast or slow, I do both, I aint like the rest of em put it that way.

HipHopLEAD: What is a typical day like for you?

Swagstar Prince: Wake and bake, get fresh, eat some fruits and I’m out the door usually, (Laughs) keepin it a thousand, pushin copies, I keep my berry wit’ me so I write while I’m on the go. Money to be made.
